KitchenAid KFP600 Motor Shaft Sleeve

thingiverse

The motor shaft on my trusty food processor gave out, and I'm shocked - it's only been 18 years since I bought it! It seems those motor shafts are widely available online for under $20. Printed with a sturdy 5mm brim to ensure it sticks firmly to the print bed. The extrusion temperature was set at 245C, while the bed temperature remained steady at 60C. A 0.4mm nozzle was used, and the infill percentage was kept at 60%. My reliable Prusa MK3 stock printer handled the job with ease, and I used high-quality Matter Hackers PETG filament. To print this part upside down, I simply flipped it over in Slic3r, rotating it by 180 degrees on the X-axis. No support material was needed, making the printing process a breeze.
